SEPTEMBER 2013Dear Friends,

The halls are buzzing here at the PBS39

Public Media and Education Center for

many reasons this month. It is my pleasure

to announce your local public broadcasting

station has been nominated for two 2013

Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards.

A Tempo InDepth: Teen Pregnancy story

about a 16-year-old father fighting for his

family in Allentown was nominated in the

education/school feature category. The

Tempo InDepth: Health Initiative – Heart

Disease program was nominated in the

health/environment/science category. Both

shows can be viewed in their entirety at

tempo.wlvt.org

The second exciting announcement is the

launch of a new local program that will

broaden the scope and understanding of

our communities, their issues and attrib-

utes. Our new FOCUS show will kick off Fri-

day, September 20th at 7:00pm.

Our Tempo series ran for 14 seasons, and

we are proud of the impact this show made

on our region. FOCUS gives PBS39 a fresh

start to reconnect with the community—and

we remain committed to delivering com-

prehensive reports with high-production

quality not found anywhere else. I hope you

will tune in September 20th, and let us

know what you think.

Lastly, I hope to see you and your family

September 7th at PBS39 Family Fun Day.

It’s going to be a great event!

Kindest regards,

Timothy S. Fallon

CEO PBS39
